Jury Acquits Randall Terry, 4 Followers
I have nothing but praise for the attempts made by Judge Paez to keep Operation Rescue presentations objective for the jury.
But the constant show-and-tell Bible-thumping tactics of the Operation Rescue people disrupted and swayed the jurors just as some attorneys have done by crying, winking, etc. to punctuate their remarks.
Since a Bible is already in the courtroom for swearing-in purposes, perhaps the five Operation Rescue defendants should be asked to check their Bibles at the door if they are retried on the three deadlocked counts.
